Hello again,
I have heard that "Tell a friend" strategies are useful to promote websites
with small budgets. Do you agree?
If so, can you point to some free resources where I can get it?
Otherwise, do you have other suggestions for promotion?
Thanks in advance.

Tell a Friend is usually a simple server side script. Depending on how
you code it, you can let the person write their own comment, or you can
write the comment for them.
<form method="post" action="formscript">
<fieldset><legend>All values are required</legend>
<label for="name" id="name1">Your Name: </label> <input type="text"
name="name" id="name"><br>
<label for="friendname" id="friendname1">Friend's Name: </label> <input
type="text" name="friendname" id="friendname"><br>
<label for="friendemail" id="friendemail1">Friend's Email: </label>
<input type="text" name="friendemail" id="friendemail">
<p><input type="submit" value="Send Mail"></p>
</form>
Then in the form script, iterate through the form collection ie:
To: friendemail, friendname
From: name
Subject: http://www.example.com
Body: Details about your fabulous web site here
mail send

Adrienne,
Thank you again for helping me with this one, even though you may have
already noticed we do not write cgi code, so I am basicaly asking for
directions to dowload a free yet fairly reliable script to use, should this
method be good to promote *low* budget websites.
Other suggestions are more than welcome, including other places where I can
ask. Thank you again,
Claire.

I'd *really* suggest using a database to keep track of what e-mail
addresses have been mailed to and prevent multiple mailings to the same
address. Otherwise it would be too easy for someone to use your script
to mailbomb someone.
